Following reports that there may be a number of higher education measures included in a budget reconciliation bill currently being developed in Congress, it is critical that lawmakers hear from the financial aid community about impacts these proposals could have on students and institutions. NASFAA is actively engaging with lawmakers to express concerns with proposals being considered as part of reconciliation, including proposed cuts to the student aid programs, but we need your help. Now is the time to reach out to your congressional delegation and share how these provisions could impact your students and your campus. Your voice matters – help protect student aid and higher education.

In response to the recent Executive Order (EO) proposing the elimination of the Department of Education (ED), NASFAA has developed essential resources to help navigate the resulting questions and concerns. We've created two FAQs to provide clarity: one tailored specifically for financial aid administrators,  and another designed in student-friendly language.
